Week 1 Fantasy Football Trade Value Chart (2021)


 
We’re baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

Although some of you, myself included, still have drafts, it is time to start focusing on in-season moves. And, of course, that begins with upgrading your roster through trades.

Properly valuing a trade in fantasy football is difficult. That is particularly the case when it involves multiple players and different positions. Is trading away your running back worth adding two solid wide receivers and a depth piece?

As always, there’s no one right answer. League size, format, replacement value, and the strengths and weaknesses of your roster all have a drastic impact on the merits of any potential trade.

But that doesn’t mean you have to foray into the trade wilderness without any guidance at all. Having a baseline set of values offers a way to evaluate the overall fairness of any deal before you consider the specifics of your league and situation.

The trade chart is fairly straightforward: just add the value of each player involved in a trade on both sides to see who wins. To be clear, these are not salary-cap values or FAB dollars. They are merely trade values calibrated to help you evaluate a deal, and they are provided for each format.

These values are based on my personal rest-of-season rankings, which will be updated on the FantasyPros site each week.  I encourage you to take advantage of our trade analyzer and trade finder tools, to get as much advice as possible before making any deal.

Beginning next week, as in prior years, we’ll examine the changes in value and the reasons behind them. For this week, simply relax, examine the values, and get ready for Week 1.
